Another chilled day hanging out at the park and putting the bikes together in the hotel room. Hotel staff look at us like we're crazy walking our bikes through the lobby for a trial run to make sure everything works. Navigated our way through the crowds of pedestrians, cars and other cyclists (none of whom wear helmets). Shane seems to have quickly mastered the art of zipping through the gaps while I hang back terrified I'm going to take out some poor old lady with my wing mirror.

Had an impromptu picnic in the park with corn on the cob which Elsie ate with such gusto it would seem we must have starved her all day. And this evening we got Elsie off to sleep (in about 2 minutes flat the poor girl is so exhausted) then used the phones as a baby monitor while we went out to drink beer. Cold Sapporo beer in a chilled glass. Bliss. I had to send Shane racing back to the hotel room when I heard voices "in" the room. Just a Chinese tour group talking at full volume in the hallway apparently. Those phones pick up everything.
